I know that no one really reads, and I'm new to this and all, but someone encouraged me to continue my story so I will. Again if you have any tips or comments please leave a review I would really appreciate it! Ill try to update as soon as I can.

I'm sitting in the room they threw me in, waiting for my visitors. Tears still coming.

My mother has to come. She will. She has to.

I hear a gentle knock on the door. For a slight moment I imagine Katniss opening the door and rushing in to hug me, telling me everything is going to be okay, that I don't have to go through this.

Reality kicks in when I see Peacekeepers letting a middle aged man into the room.

For a second I wonder if he's in the wrong room. He must be, because now I recognize his face. He's the baker. Peeta's dad.

The Peacekeepers exit the room and give us some privacy. He walks closer to me until we're only a few feet apart. I can see the dark circles under his eyes, the crows feet in the corners of his lids. He seems to be in his late forties.

He makes no move to sit down on the couch next to me. He holds something in his hand. It seems to be a paper bag filled with something. He hands the bag over to me.

His eyes land on mine. He gives me a look of deep concern. "I'll find your sister. Or I'll try my best to, that is."

I just stare at him. I make no effort to wipe away my tears. My head is filled with a million questions.

How does he know Katniss is missing? Why is he even here? Did he already see his son? What's inside the paper bag?

I open the bag and see a dozen freshly baked cookies. Now I'm even more confused.

He sees the confused look on my face and replies, "Ill take care of your mother, too."

I dont understand why he's being so nice to me.

Then the door opens and the Peacekeepers barge in and start showing Mr. Mellark the way out.

"Thank you!" I yell before he's out of earshot. He turns around and gives me a sorrowful smile. Then he's gone.

The door closes and I wait. About 30 seconds later the door opens and my mom is escorted in.

Oh thank god, I thought.

I run into her arms. The tears are coming harder and harder. She's patting my head and squeezing me.

This whole time I was thinking about myself and poor me, I forgot how my mother must be feeling. She had already lost my father, Katniss is nowhere to be found, and now I'm being sent to my death. She's all alone.

At that thought I clutch her harder. I can't do this. I can't leave her. I can't be alone.

We just stand there holding each other for a while. Her steady heartbeat calms me down a little.

When the Peacekeepers come in the room to take her out, I can't take it. I grab onto her as hard as I can. "Noooo! No you can't do this! Don't leave me!"

More Peacekeepers come in the room and separate us. They take her out of the room and leave me there on the ground, sobbing and rocking back and forth.

I can't do this. I'm not strong. I'm not like Katniss.

Oh, Katniss. Where are you?

I get up from the floor and slowly walk towards the door. I slide the door open just a little bit. I expected to see it surrounded by Peacekeepers, and I'm shocked that its not. I hear someone's footsteps running towards my door. I slam the door shut and go back to the couch and sit down.

The door opens and there she is. My sister, Katniss.

She runs over to me and embraces me in a giant hug. I start to cry again, God why can't I stop crying?

"Shh, I can't stay long. Prim, please listen to me."

From the seriousness of her voice, I stop and look up at her.

"I don't have much time but I needed to see you. I'm so sorry Prim this is all my fault." She turns away, unable to meet my eyes.

"Its okay, Katniss. You didn't put my name in there."

"I know but I should have been there to volunteer for you." She faces me again. "But now I can't. Now I need you to do something for me. I need you to win this, Prim. You don't have to kill anyone. Just please Prim you're small, you can hide, and you know all the edible plants from dad's book. Once you're out, I can come rescue you from District 12. There's a place me and Gale found. Its underground. But I just need you to survive for me, Prim. There's a place outside of all of this."

I am so taken back by her words. A place outside of this?

I hear some loud noise come from outside the room. Katniss lets go and me and makes for the window.

"I have to go. Prim, I need you to be strong for me."

I nod at her. "I'll try," I say in a weak voice.

She leans out the window and jumps. I rush over to look out the window, but she's already gone.

Then, the Peacekeepers come into the room, looking aggravated. "I wish I worked in District 2. No disturbances there," one Peacekeeper mumbles to the other.

Disturbance? Maybe that was why there weren't any Peacekeepers at my door...

"Come on, lets go." Two Peacekeepers grab both my arms as if I might retaliate. But I won't. I have to be strong for Katniss. I must survive.

They lead me into the car with Effie and Peeta, to take us to the train.

I look at Peeta and wonder why his father was being so kind and understanding with me. I wonder if Peeta is that kind.

Then I curse myself. It doesn't matter. He might die anyways.

That thought brings another tear to my eye. We're all too young to be worrying about death. I must survive and leave. i must be strong so I can be with Katniss.
